I think you are making this more difficult than need be -- point your
web browser at your favorite mirror's snapshot directory of your desired
platform.  Look at the date of the files. There's the date the snapshot
was built.

If that's newer than what you are running...there's a new snapshot. If
not, or about the same day, it isn't.

This is not really a role for sysupgrade.  sysupgrade is to upgrade the
system.  If you just want to browse the option for updating, use a browser.
